Open a Notepad, customize or minimize to the taskbar as you will need it

Open a run command and type in:

click on each of these:

Please we need just the error messages with Red (X) and don't repeat the

I will assume the system is clean and running an up2date Anti-Virus
application, so try to capture the Process that causing this crash, either by
downloading the Process explorer from Ms site or by Task manager.
HTH.

Background information on Stop Error message:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms793442.aspx

In practice, it is usually a hardware driver issue.
http://aumha.org/a/stop.htm

A Registry Cleaner should not be used:
http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099

What hardware changes have you recently made?

Are there any yellow question marks in Device Manager? Right click on
the My Computer icon on your Desktop and select Properties,
Hardware,Device Manager. If yes what is the Device Error code?

Try Start, Run, type "sigverif.exe" without quotes and hit OK. What
drivers are listed as unsigned? Disregard those which are not checked.

Please post copies of all Error and Warning Reports appearing in
the System and Application logs in Event Viewer for the last boot. No
Information Reports or Duplicates please. Indicate which also appear in
a previous boot.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event
Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of
the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from
Event Viewer.

Hi Gerry and everyone whom has posted replies (many thanks)

The links were good explanations - pointing to a driver issue/conflict.

I havnt made any hardware changes recently. But on checking drivers I had
two with issues, creative soundblaster (external card), mising driver and a
USB hub. Resolved the former by disabling then restart; which also seem to
cure the USB hub. No BSOD on that restart !

Also ran sigverify.exe. Got the following unassigned:
a3d.dll driver version 2.9.0.0
sfman32.dll 5.12.1.130
intels51.sys 4.28.5.0
ad2kgelp.ini none
ad2kregp.dll 7.0.5.0
ad2kuigp.dll 7.0.5.0
adpdf.ppd none

Should I be concerned about these ?

Cheers
WinsorRob

The purpose of the exercise was to eliminate the BSOD, If you have done
that then job done. Drivers being unsigned does not mean anything is
wrong. It's just if you are trying to identify one creating a problem it
highlight a few to look at in more detail.

Well done and thanks for reporting the outcome.

Hi Gerry,

Thanks again for the reply.
Unfortunatly the BSOD has reoccured !, but not with the driver issues I
previoulsy highlighted i.e. no more yellow exclaimations, but still the BSOD.
So, I need to try some of the other things. Did run a driver update check,
there are a few news ones but nothing critical in my view. Also remembered I
had to swap my monitor from an HP (failed) to a Compaq; but it is down as
plug and play and working ok.
Any further ideas welcomed ?

Meant to say last time, I have been running PC Tools Registry mechanic on a
weekly basis for a couple of years and have not had an issue; but will stop
now as the view seems to be XP can take care of it on its own.

Merry Christmas to all
WinsorRob

Hi Gerry,
Thanks for hanging in there on this question !
BSOD still occuring on about 75% of start-ups.
A reset then allows normal start (don't need the safe mode).

Error message is still exactly the same as my first post.
No hardware devices have any issues under device manager (no yellow
exclaimations).

Did think about updating some drivers, but dont want to make the siutation
worse; previously used DriverMagic.

Cheers
Rob
